GSL ENERGY 500kWh+ Commercial & Industrial Energy Storage Case Study | Bringing Light to Remote Villages in Malaysia

On September 7, 2025, the GSL ENERGY team embarked on a follow-up visit to a remote village in Johor, Malaysia, to meet with clients who had installed commercial and industrial energy storage systems. Located approximately 200 kilometers from Kuala Lumpur, this area had long been isolated from the national grid due to its remote location. For 20 local households, nights were once lit by candles and powered by diesel generators, making stable electricity an unattainable luxury in their daily lives.

All-in-one Commercial & Industrial Energy Storage System Solves Rural Energy Challenges

Upon receiving the request, the GSL ENERGY team did not rush to advance the project. Instead, they conducted an in-depth village survey, meticulously analyzing villagers' electricity usage habits, appliance power requirements, and peak consumption periods. Based on field data, we developed a customized off-grid commercial and industrial energy storage solution for the area.

In 2024, the project was officially implemented—installing three 25kW/172kWh commercial and industrial integrated energy storage systems, achieving a total storage capacity of 516kWh. This system not only meets the lighting and appliance needs of 20 households but also completely eliminates the village's reliance on costly diesel generators, achieving true clean energy independence.

Reliable and Efficient, Ensuring Round-the-Clock Power

GSL ENERGY's commercial and industrial energy storage system operates stably in remote villages thanks to its dual “Safety + Efficiency” design:

High-Safety Batteries: Utilizing Grade A lithium iron phosphate batteries, which offer strong thermal stability, high tolerance for overcharging and over-discharging, and extended cycle life. These batteries ensure safe and stable system operation even in Malaysia's hot and rainy climate.

Intelligent Energy Management System (EMS): Our proprietary smart management system enables a cyclical operation where solar power is generated and stored during the day, then discharged for nighttime use. It monitors power generation, storage capacity, and load in real time, automatically optimizing scheduling to maximize clean energy utilization.

Weather Resilience: Even during prolonged rainy periods, the system's stored energy meets basic electricity needs, eliminating dependence on weather-dependent power supply. This ensures uninterrupted electricity, significantly enhancing villagers' sense of security.

More Than Power, It's Hope

On the follow-up visit, the GSL ENERGY team reunited with local project leaders for a commemorative photo. Both parties reviewed the entire process from research and design to installation and commissioning, express

ing high praise for the system's stable performance over the past year.

Today, 20 households have bid farewell to dark nights, as clean energy-powered lights transform village life. Though devoid of city neon, the stability and peace of mind brought by this system open new possibilities for education, healthcare, and economic development.

Staying true to our mission: Making clean energy accessible

As a manufacturer deeply rooted in the energy storage sector, GSL ENERGY consistently prioritizes customer needs, delivering customized commercial and industrial energy storage solutions. Our end-to-end services span system design, equipment manufacturing, installation and commissioning, through to post-installation operation and maintenance.

Whether for off-grid projects, microgrid development, industrial and educational facilities, or energy security for communication towers and public utilities, GSL ENERGY tailors efficient and reliable storage systems to local conditions.

This remote rural project in Malaysia embodies GSL ENERGY's mission to “make clean energy accessible.” Moving forward, we will continue advancing the global implementation of commercial energy storage, distributed energy, and off-grid solutions. We aim to illuminate more unlit corners with clean power, contributing to the global energy transition and sustainable development.
